Summary
The much-anticipated and inspiring memoir by Indra Nooyi, the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo, offering clear-eyed insight and a call to action for how our society can really blend work and family - and advance women - in the 21st century.
For more than a dozen years as one of the world's most admired CEOs, Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader. The first woman, person of colour and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company - and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time - Nooyi transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence and a deep sense of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit and good humour, My Life in Full offers a firsthand view of a legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.
In her book, Nooyi shares the events that shaped her - from her childhood in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a consultant and corporate strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an intimate look inside PepsiCo, detailing how she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile without curbing financial performance - despite resistance at every turn.
At the same time, Nooyi built a home with her husband - also a high-powered executive - two daughters and members of her extended family. My Life in Full includes her unvarnished take on the competing pressures on her attention and time, and what she learned along the way. This book, as has her personal journey, will inspire young women everywhere to believe that they, too, can climb to powerful roles without giving up on the desire for a family and children. But, as Nooyi eloquently argues, her story is not a call for women to simply try harder, but is proof of the importance of organised care structures in all of our success. Nooyi makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritise the care ecosystem, from skilled care networks to zoning policy, to paid leave and flexible and predictable work hours, each so critical to unleashing the economy's full potential and helping families thrive.
Generous, authoritative and grounded in lived experience, My Life in Full is both the story of an extraordinary leader's life and a moving tribute to the relationships that created it.

Inspirational!
Loved it! An inspiring life told with zero sugar coating!. Hard work and a passion for adding value through all one does, these are the huge take aways from Indra's story so far. Her story shows that there are many people out there who see only your potential and will move heaven and earth to support and help you through any challenge.

Absolutely relatable
Absolutely relatable in all sense of the word...I cried, I laughed, I reminisced, I chose to forget the pain, I was inspired, I was sad but above all I as a senior leader in management wowed to make workplaces work better for employees so that employees could work better for workplaces. Thank you for sharing such a personal story and reminding me I am not alone in how I think.

I longed to read your memoir and I’m glad I finally did. Since 2008, I have watched and listened to you and you have influenced my leadership learning. Your story is both inspiring and riveting. Thank you!

A Good Listen
Really enjoyed this book. Was inspiring (although one does not plan to ever be CEO of PepsiCo of course). Was nice to hear Indra’s recounts of motherhood mixed with business. I think I actually would have liked some more anecdotes from her life, actually, as much as the discussions around the business side of things.
Would have happily listened for longer!
